Why Was This Nursing Home Sued for $30 Million?

A Tennessee nursing home was ordered to pay $28 million in punitive damages following the death of a patient who was malnourished, dehydrated and developed pressure sores on her foot that went to the bone. The sores became infected with bed bugs and the insects’ fecal matter. The patient’s leg was amputated to prevent the spread of the infection, but she still died two months later.

After the incident, the facility tried to hide how understaffed it was. Months after the patient’s death, the staff continued to document providing care to her.

Is Nursing Home Abuse Common?

Physical abuse

Sexual abuse

Emotional or verbal abuse

Financial exploitation

Confinement

Willful deprivation

Neglect

Almost 50 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will spend time in a nursing home before death. A study from the NCOA found 44 percent of nursing home residents reported they have suffered from some form of abuse. Of those reports, 29 percent is reported physical abuse, 14 percent is neglect, 22 percent is from other residents, 21 percent is psychological abuse, 7 percent is financial abuse and 7 percent is reported sexual abuse.
